At least the copyright trolls are targeting Twitter instead of individual users I guess? DMCA is a farce.

I mean who says they are not targeting others as well at the same time.

[–] sourcery@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Fair enough.

LOL “instead” :-D They are surely targeting both Twitter AND some John Pantswearer from Nebraska who downloaded “Despacito.mp3” too. Lawyers be lawyering.
